In episode 30 of the Pro Wrestling Post Podcast, two guys don’t walk into a bar but rather invite a very special guest. Neither is holding a beverage of choice but is super amped up to chat about AEW returning to London, England, for All In.
The guest is a wrestling fan like us with an appreciation of all things wrestling, not to mention Fortnite, his new nephew, and his wicked, awesome parents.
But in the bar, filled to the gills with water flowing like a river to drink, the focus turned to AEW’s All In and our co-hosts attending the show on Sunday, August 25th.
So, while they could have shared how Nia Jax’s Women’s Championship reign has been the best thing to happen since Will Ospreay’s joining of AEW but…they didn’t.
In the latest edition of the podcast, our resident Commonwealth connection explored the entire All-In card minus the Zero Hour announced matches.
Which matches stood out the most? What did our guest feel was going to happen? Will we have a new host taking over next week? Tune in to find out!

Coffin Match – ‘Scapegoat’ Jack Perry vs. Darby Allin
Mark Blake, Marc Madison, and their special guest, Logan, shared their thoughts on the upcoming match between these two of AEW’s pillars. From the fandom of Allin and his insane in-ring antics to the inclusion of a discussion of Allin’s evolution in…reverse!
Our co-hosts discussed what to expect and what not to expect. Could we see REAL blood? Could possibly real glass appear? Could someone be tossed into a real makeshift river outside Wembley? The choices of what could happen were endless… well, maybe.
Our hosts also discussed, who this win would mean more to going into and out of the event. Off-air, Mr. Blake shared news of potential plans for one competitor in this match. That report played a part in influencing Madison’s match prediction.
With the likelihood that fans will see risks they likely hadn’t anticipated going into the match, the hope is that they will come out of it in shock and awe.
Was this match as much focused on the present as it is the future of AEW the result will be important. Tune into this episode to find out what our hosts and guest anticipate overall of this match.

AEW American Championship – MJF & Will Ospreay
In this particular episode, while the focus was on the entire ALL IN main card, one buzz-worthy match that our co-hosts discussed was between England’s own Will Ospreay and the current AEW International/American Champion, MJF.
This feud has become very personal and reached a fever pitch this past week, with MJF saying things that were directed towards Ospreay’s family. But that brawl would lead to Ospreay being bludgeoned and left lying in the ring.
With the lead-in to this match coming about, our hosts discussed the speculated initial belief of who Ospreay would have faced at ALL IN and the booking going in a different direction than anticipated.
After contending for the AEW World Championship against Swerve Strickland, Ospreay would immediately set his sights on capturing the AEW International Championship.
While he was successful in defeating Roderick Strong for the title, it was short-lived, as MJF would defeat him for the title with two seconds remaining in their match.
Our hosts discussed whether or not winning in London was necessary for Ospreay or not. After defeating Chris Jericho at last year’s ALL IN, our hosts weighed out the reaction over the need for the win in this match.
Fans witnessed MJF completely undo what the AEW International title was intended to represent. In doing so, he disrespected competitors from outside America during this championship run.
Blake, Madison and Logan discuss their thoughts about this championship match, the chemistry between the competitors, and how the crowd is likely to respond to Ospreay’s entrance.
